The regret that's her worse
Is the birth of the best
Gift god could give to her
Her blessing from heaven
Was god sending her a message
A reason to wake up every day
A reason to smile-when he smiles she
smiles
Even if that smile is only for a while
Before she snaps back to reality
Where she's just a casualty
A statistic in the world
He gave her a reason to live
A reason to give-her all,a reason to try
She wakes up every morning just to stare
at those bills
Then she falls to the floor, lights it to get
those thrills
Until she's so gone she looks at the mirror with a gun in her palm
Then in the reflection in the mirror she
sees the bruises on her arm
The self-conflicted pain
Pill after pill, the true scars remain
She rests her head on her pillow cause
she knows she can't refrain
Close her eyes to cry for she knows she is
to wake up tomorrow to do it all again...
